Gongjusuncheonbakssigongsillok vol. 2

The Suncheon Park clan of Yanghwa-ri, Gyeryong-myeon, belong to the family of Park Won-jong (1467-1510), a principal figure in the Jungjong Restoration, and are descendants of Park Won-jong's cousin, Park Igeom, Lord Sunseong. It was Igeom's son, Inson (1498-1553), who relocated to Yanghwa-ri, Gyeryong, Gongju, and the clan flourished there from that time. Inson's father, Igeom, served as magistrate of Cheongdo and, together with his cousin Park Won-jong, took part in the Jungjong Restoration, for which he was named a Jeongnan Merit Subject; after his death he was posthumously awarded the title Minister of Works and ennobled as Lord Sunseong, with the posthumous title Yangpyeong. His son Inson, as the son of a Wonjong Merit Subject, married the daughter of Jeong Se-gyu of the Jinju Jeong clan and became his son-in-law, settling in Yanghwa-ri and establishing the family's base there; the Suncheon Park clan continued to flourish and has done so down to the present day. The family rose to prominence once again with Inson's grandson, Jeongje: Park Jeong-je held the post of chamgun through the eumseo (hereditary-appointment) system, and when the Yi Gwal Rebellion broke out in the reign of King Injo, he escorted the royal carriage in flight; on reaching Gongju and finding no boat to cross the river, he stripped and broke the ice with his bare body so that the party could cross, an act for which he was named a Wonjong Merit Subject. In this way, both Park Igeom and Park Jeong-je of the Suncheon Park clan of Yanghwa-ri received merit-subject certificates (gongsillokgwon), and their descendants were granted official posts; the family was recognised by the state as one of loyal subjects, and both Park Igeom and Park Jeong-je were recorded in the Gongsanji, a local gazetteer. The records that convey the family's history of loyal service are the single-volume Sipgongsinhoemaengnok (Myeongnangnok) and the single-volume Jeongsa Wonjong Gongsillokgwon (Daeryeorok). The Sipgongsinhoemaengnok bears the title "Myeongnangnok" (Record of the King Jungjong Reign) and records the oath of alliance sworn in September 1507, the second year of King Jungjong, between the king and the ten categories of merit subjects - including those honoured for the founding of the dynasty, for the Restoration, and for the suppression of rebellion - together with their descendants; in this document, Park Won-jong, along with Park Igeom, Park I-on, Park Gi-son and Park Inson of the Suncheon Park clan, are recorded as sons of Jeongguk Merit Subjects. The Jeongsa Wonjong Gongsillokgwon bears the title "Daeryeorok" (Record of the King Injo Reign) and is the merit-subject certificate issued by the king to Park Jeong-je in 1625, the third year of King Injo; it survives in very good condition. Meanwhile, at Neungmoe in Yanghwa-ri, Gyeryong-myeon, the tomb and grave stele of Park Inson have been preserved, and together with the blue-and-white porcelain artefacts excavated from the tomb of Park Jeong-je's mother, these documents convey the social and historical value of their era; they, too, remain in very good condition.
